Im planning on pulling it strait out of the air for freesies through the use of untrackable antenna technology from 90 years ago.

real pro strat is to buy an ATSC tuner card for your PC and record or stream that shit too

Doing exactly this with tvheadend and a Hauppauge wintv HVR-2250 dual ATSC board. Thanks for reminding me to set it to record.

glad to have been of service. good work.

[-] justTouchit@discuss.online 7 points 8 months ago

This is the way.

Also paramount+ has a free 7 day trial.

I need to get a better antenna. I can get Fox and ABC, but NBC and CBS must be too far away.

[-] phar@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

There are apps/sites that showyou where the antennas for the channels are so you can try to point at the one you want. That might help

[-] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I downloaded an app that came with my antenna that shows where the station broadcast antennas are, but unfortunately the room I’m using it in is on the south side of my house, and the two stations I can’t get are North of me

It’s the little things in life.

Go directly to $p0rt $urge d0t n3t. It's a curated list of free streams like crack streams, stream east, etc. I've been using it since following MMA on reddit 10 years ago. It has everything.

dot gg works better for me, but agreed regardless. it's my only access to NFL outside the US

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I got into this for hockey streams. Sometimes, especially for high traffic events (like the super bowl), streams get pretty rough for me.

Another source that's mostly for soccer streams (if anybody here could benefit from this into) could be found just by googling the words foot and bite, but replace the space between those words with the letter Y. Very handy to be able to find for in the background or on breaks while at work, especially around the world cup.

[-] sexy_peach@feddit.de 37 points 8 months ago

Not watching it, I don't like sportsball

[-] Banzai51@midwest.social 3 points 8 months ago

I mean, you don't even own a TV.

Of course, what the hell are you doing here?

[-] LazerDickMcCheese@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

What are going to watch instead?

[-] sexy_peach@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago
[-] LazerDickMcCheese@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Not watching at all.

  1. Not watching sport, ever.
  2. Not in US, so don't care.
  3. It's weekend, when we listen to the radio and don't watch TV. (Nothing on anyway)

You should be able to find a stream somewhere in there. Ad block definitely recommended before visiting any free streaming site!

[-] MortalWombat@kbin.social 21 points 8 months ago

Digital antenna. OTA is still free.

Rather bold of you to assume I'll be watching the Super Bowl.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Not watching. Sports is boring as fuck to watch. Sports are meant to be an activity to engage in, not sitting on the couch watching someone else have all the fun. Get off the couch, grab some friends, and go throw the ball around!

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Or even better, do both

[-] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Antenna hooked up to my tivo OTA. Able to record local TV without subscription.

[-] dumples@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

What over the air antenna do you use? Thinking about getting one but the last one I used was spotty at best.

[-] Haphazard9479@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

antennaweb.org has all the info you need to make the right choice. It also will tell you how high and what direction to point.

Antenna on roof over here. Just finished checking the alignment. I'm all set!

Edit: just noticed the community. Might not help. Good luck though.

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Nope, valid answer! Piracy isn't about theft, it's about sharing. Many people pay good money for equipment to be able to share content that they paid for. Nobody gets mad about people visiting friends to watch a movie that only one friend paid for, so most piracy is basically just that but with many friends and without having to visit. Buying an antenna is the original jellyfin server, but on somebody else's schedule, so live sports is the perfect application of this. If I watched sports more regularly at home, I'd absolutely buy an antenna. I'm tired after 3 12-hour shifts (including today) plus my wife is at work, so I don't feel like going out to a sports bar this time. Which is also a valid way to share this content!

I was just about to bite on that but came here first to see if anybody had a good reason against doing this. So far so good?

[-] willya@lemmyf.uk 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah used a privacy.com card.

[-] kellyaster@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

Not watching, I cut the cord to avoid commercials. But OTA + antenna , as others said, is a solid way to watch network content for free if you can get a good signal.

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Oh, umm.. I'm not?

[-] nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

OTA TV will probably work, depending on how close you are to a transmitter, you might even be able to get away with an unbent paperclip as an antenna.

[-] crossmr@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

with my eyes closed, I think it was airing during the night here, and even if it didn't, I wouldn't.

[-] hurtn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

IPTV, spit the game with watching twitch

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

In an alternate dimension

[-] RHOPKINS13@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

... specifically for football streams ... search for nfl bite... you're welcome...
